Story
As you now know, I have been lucky enough to secure a ballot place in the 2020 London Marathon.
In 2018 my son Arthur was born, and within a few weeks, was diagnosed with a condition called Cystic Fibrosis. CF is a genetic, life long and life limiting condition for which there is no cure. It predominantly effects the lungs and pancreas but has many other symptoms and requires medication and physiotherapy multiple times everyday.
An important part of CF life is keeping as active as possible, to keep the lungs clear and working to their best potential. With this is mind, I thought it only fit to raise money through physical exursion. I hope this will help to start to set a positive example for Arthur.
CFKids is a local charity that support families with children with CF from The Queen Alexandra Hospital. They provide physical activity grants, listening services, help with the cost of hospital stays, and fund expensive specialist equipment when the NHS are unable to. Arthur has particularly benefited from them when they were able to provide a specialist nebuliser that has more than halved the amount of time his treatments take each day.
Any donations would be very much appreciated.
